Ik heb een Intel SSD en daar zit een toolbox bij. De Intel SSD Toolbox is een programma wat je kunt downloaden. Daarop zit een > Secure erase. Onder de helpfunctie kun je dan eens lezen hoe te handelen. Daar staat ook partitie verwijderen en aanmaken. Ik ben helemaal niet deskundig op dat gebied dus ik weet niet of jij dat kunt uitvoeren op jouw SSD. Eigen verantwoordelijk en risico.
Secure Erase Requirements
To run Secure Erase on an Intel SSD:
The SSD must be the secondary drive in the system. Secure Erase cannot be run from a bootable SSD or on an SSD with a partition.
All drive passwords must be removed from the SSD. See your system documentation for instructions.
The system must allow access to the SATA power cable connected to the SSD.
All partitions must be removed from the SSD.
Back up any data onto another drive if you want to keep any of the data on the Intel SSD.
Running Secure Erase
Run Secure Erase to permanently delete all data on a secondary Intel SSD installed in your system.
CAUTION: Secure Erase is an unrecoverable operation that permanently deletes all data on an Intel SSD. Secure Erase executes the ATA Security Erase Unit command and the Enhanced Erase Mode command to eliminate not only the user data section of the SSD, but also the reserve data area, rendering data remnants virtually unrecoverable. Secure Erase is an addition to the existing format drive command available in computer operating systems. Once you run Secure Erase on an Intel SSD, there is no possibility to recover data from the SSD.
Review the requirements before running Secure Erase.
Delete all partitions on the Intel SSD to be erased.
Select the Intel SSD on the home screen and view the Drive Summary information to verify the Intel SSD is the drive you want to erase.
Click Secure Erase.
Click Erase.
If a Secure Frozen Warning message appears:
A Secure Frozen Warning message indicates the SSD is in the SECURITY FREEZE LOCK state. Secure Erase cannot be performed on an SSD when it is in this state. To prepare the SSD for the removal of the SECURITY FREEZE LOCK state, the Intel SSD Toolbox sends the STANDBY IMMEDIATE command to the SSD, which results in the warning message.
To remove the SECURITY FREEZE LOCK state and continue with the Secure Erase process:
a. Power-cycle the SSD by removing the SATA power cable from the SSD and quickly reconnecting it while the Intel SSD Toolbox is running. Depending on your system configuration, this may require that you physically remove the SSD from the system.
Note: It is recommended you perform this process quickly to make sure the system continues to recognize the SSD.
b. After unplugging and plugging in the SSD, click OK.
The Intel SSD Toolbox rescans the system for the SSD. Once the SSD is detected, continue with Step 6.
If the SSD is not detected, click OK on the Selected Drive Not Found message. The Intel SSD Toolbox home screen appears and scans the system for drives. Once the Intel SSD is detected, select the Intel SSD on the home screen and click Secure Erase.
If the Security warning message appears again, repeat the power-cycling process (steps a and b), making sure to quickly remove and reconnect the SATA power cable. If the Secure Frozen Warning message continues to appear, this indicates that power-cycling the drive is not removing the SECURITY FREEZE LOCK state on this system. If this is the case, Intel SSD Toolbox cannot run Secure Erase on this system. Intel recommends obtaining a drive utility with Secure Erase and running Secure Erase from that utility.
If the SSD is not detected and does not appear on the home screen, open the Windows Device Manager and rescan the system for drives (right-click Computer > Manage > Device Manager > right-click Disk Drives > Scan for hardware changes). After scanning the system, click Refresh on the Intel SSD Toolbox home screen and try the Secure Erase procedure again, making sure to quickly remove and reconnect the SATA power cable.
Click Run.
Secure Erase starts on the selected Intel SSD. A progress bar shows the status of the operation. The process can take 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the capacity of the SSD.
CAUTION: Your system may appear to stop responding during this operation. Do not power off or disconnect power from your system during the operation, as this can damage the SSD.
When complete, create an active partition and format the SSD.
Click Refresh on the home screen to view the Intel SSD.
Deleting a Partition
These instructions describe how to delete a partition on an Intel SSD in Microsoft Windows* in preparation for running Secure Erase on the SSD.
These steps logically delete a partition, which makes all data unavailable on the SSD. These steps can be performed while Intel SSD Toolbox is running.
In Windows, right-click Computer, click Manage and then Disk Management.
Select the Intel SSD that contains the partition.
Locate the partition on the Intel SSD (indicated by a drive letter).
Right-click on the partition and select Delete Partition or Delete Volume.
Confirm the deletion, if prompted.
Exit the Windows Disk Management screen.
After deleting the partition, click Refresh on the Intel SSD Toolbox home screen.
Creating a Partition
These instructions describe how to create and format a partition on an Intel SSD in Microsoft Windows* 7. These instructions can be helpful for preparing an SSD after performing a Secure Erase. For more information or instructions for other operating systems, see the documentation for your operating system.
Right-click Computer > Manage > Disk Management.
Select the Intel SSD on which you want to create a partition and click New Simple Volume.
Click Next when the New Simple Volume Wizard starts.
Enter the information for the partition (size of partition, drive letter).
Click Next.
Select an option to format the partition, and then click Next.
Click Finish.
